President Obama Formally Announces Re-Election Bid

POTUS formally announced his intention to keep his job for four more years with an email to supporters at 6:00 a.m. ET on Monday. In the message, he says that he will be filing the necessary paperwork today to move his plans forward. I respect the president, but I’m glad he didn’t wake me up out of my slumber for that news. lol…

With the launch of the campaign comes the 2012 re-election page on his website. In the email and on the site is a new video (see above) of various supporters talking about what the election means to them and why they support him. The two-minute clip is chock full of campaign talking points about grassroots support, his current work, the high stakes, etc. Pretty much the same messaging from 2008.

Brace yourselves now. This is going to be a long campaign season. *sigh*
